Essential Cybersecurity Controls
The National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) of Saudi Arabia introduced the Essential Cybersecurity Controls to guide organizations on their journey toward secure digital transformation. These controls are rooted in a deep analysis of global cybersecurity standards, real-world incident patterns, and the collective insights of various organizations. Tailored specifically for Saudi Arabia, they define the foundational security practices every organization must follow to safeguard their digital assets.
At the core of this initiative lies a simple truth—every digital advancement depends on the security of sensitive information. In today's landscape, a single compromised password can open the door to devastating consequences. That's why strong, proactive credential management is no longer optional. A well-rounded workforce management strategy not only protects confidential data but also tracks how it's accessed and by whom—pinpointing threats before they escalate.
Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials, a UK government-backed certification, helps organizations strengthen their defenses against common cyber threats by encouraging the implementation of essential security controls. One crucial aspect of meeting these standards is securing access to sensitive systems and data—and that's where WPM comes in.
WPM simplifies the path to certification by securing sensitive credentials behind layers of encryption, enforcing strict access policies, and keeping a close watch on user activity. It helps organizations minimize risk, prevent unauthorized access, and maintain tighter control over who gets to do what. More than just a tool, WPM reflects a proactive approach to cybersecurity—empowering businesses to not only meet compliance standards but to build a culture of digital trust and accountability.
HIPAA
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets important standards in the United States for protecting confidential patient health information. At its core, HIPAA ensures that electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) remains confidential, secure, and accessible only to authorized personnel.
WPM supports healthcare organizations in meeting these strict requirements by enabling secure, role-based access to sensitive data. From the moment ePHI is created to its final archival, WPM ensures it remains shielded through advanced security controls and real-time monitoring. This comprehensive approach not only helps healthcare providers maintain compliance but also reinforces trust by safeguarding patient privacy every step of the way.
PCI DSS
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is essential for protecting payment card information and preventing fraud. With WPM, achieving PCI DSS compliance becomes easier.
WPM strengthens your organization's security by tightly controlling access to sensitive cardholder data, managing credentials with advanced encryption, and maintaining detailed audit trails. Its built-in reporting and monitoring tools provide clear visibility into who accessed what and when—helping you stay compliant, reduce risk, and build trust with every transaction.
